Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TE Connectivity substitute parts (1734346-1 and 1734346-4) maintain active product status and satisfy the core electrical and mechanical requirements for USB 2.0 Type-B receptacle applications. All three parts are UL94 V-0 compliant and feature identical contact configurations, mounting orientations, and termination methods.

The TE Connectivity parts provide ROHS3 compliance certification, which may be required for specific regulatory or procurement frameworks. The operating temperature range for TE Connectivity substitutes (-50°C ~ 85°C for Samtec versus 0°C ~ 50°C for TE Connectivity) should be evaluated against application requirements. The TE Connectivity parts specify 1A current rating, whereas the Samtec part does not provide this specification.

Selection between 1734346-1 and 1734346-4 should be based on inventory availability and supply chain requirements, as both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the TE Connectivity parts 1734346-1 and 1734346-4 functionally interchangeable with USB-B-S-S-W-SM-R?

A: Yes. Both TE Connectivity parts match the critical USB 2.0 Type-B receptacle specifications, including 4-contact configuration, surface mount right-angle orientation, solder termination, 30VAC rating, and 1500 mating cycle rating. All three parts feature board guide and solder retention features with UL94 V-0 flammability compliance.

Q: What is the difference between 1734346-1 and 1734346-4?

A: Both parts are parametrically equivalent USB 2.0 Type-B receptacles from TE Connectivity with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is inventory availability (2400 units for 1734346-1 versus 11782 units for 1734346-4).

Q: Does operating temperature range affect substitution compatibility?

A: The Samtec part specifies -50°C ~ 85°C operating range, while TE Connectivity substitutes specify 0°C ~ 50°C. Applications requiring operation below 0°C or above 50°C must retain the Samtec part. Applications within the 0°C ~ 50°C range are compatible with either substitute.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: The TE Connectivity substitutes provide ROHS3 compliance certification. The Samtec part does not specify RoHS status in the provided data. Both parts share UL94 V-0 flammability rating and EAR99 ECCN classification.

Q: What packaging format is used for these connectors?

A: All three parts are supplied in Tray packaging format suitable for automated assembly processes.
